I guess Obama doesn't pull the crowds anymore.

Good shots. I saw several of these when I was in Washington a couple of years ago - I'm not sure all contained the president. They just pop out of no where; my shots didn't work at all.

CW, there was't time for a crowd, or protestors or anything. Whole thing from the time they blocked the streets until motorcade passed by was no more than 5 minutes. No one knew they
were coming by. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Secret service is very
effecient. No one could get within 10 feet of the curb.

Jer,

It was indeed the president, we saw him. Unfortunately, my reflexes weren't quick enough
to get more photos. My son was right beside me and saw him quite clearly.

In stark contrast to the total lack of Security for JFK on Nov 22 1963....

Hey - your reflexes were better than mine when I encountered one of these things.
